It could be interesting also to know how long must be the performance. I am reading now "talent show", so I can imagine you just need to prepare very short things and not entire long performances.
If it was a long performance, of course the best thing would be to do different things during the show, so to have different atmospheres, different rhythms. It is not necessary to have a "story" (I mean something with a beginning, evolution and end), but it could be nice to at least have an idea of what your brother wants to communicate, or what you both want to communicate/express. You can still work with improvisations/jam, and then the "meaning" would just be what the music and movements spontaneously transmit. Still, in some moment you will have to fix it, clean it, and give it some kind of form. Let us know.

Well, when I go dancing I generally dance Techno, Minimal (you know, the German Minimal), Electro, DnB, Goa... I often find myself doing sort of Tetris movements in Jackson's style. When I started the livelooping project I had in mind more funny stuff like the German Ricoloop. Then I went spontaneously more on the Techno Beatbox so I even had to change looper because the Rang III does not allow a very quick control over the loops (dj style). All this is to tell you, that I would do DnB, Breakbeats, with touches of goa/trance/techno, and even moment of calm minimal eventually. But it is impossible to really give you the best advice if I do not know what your brother wants! You should ask him which kind of mood/atmosphere he wants. I did theater many years. That is or should be my profession (it is 10 years now, that I don't). I can help you a bit. But you must know if your brother wants something more 80's, something more funny, something more electronic, something more dark, or sunny, etc. You can adapt Jackson's style of dancing to many music, as far as they have a nice rhythm with variations and breaks. Let me know.

Some of you might remember me posting about my first looping performance on stage last year. Well this is the same place. He dances, I loop. The scary part is I dont know how to make this work. He does dance moves such as michael jackson or usher. I need some advice on being able to perform something danceable because i find it a little tough to make something that changes a lot to keep the audience's interest. |
